Coachella will mark Blackpink's official U.S. debut. The group, which is represented by YG Entertainment, signed a deal with the California-based Interscope Records in October.

"I hope this case will pave the way for other YG artists to enter the North American and European markets," YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk said at the time, according to The Korea Times.

Blackpink is known for the singles "Boombayah," "Playing with Fire," "As If It's Your Last" and "Ddu-Du, Ddu-Du." The group's music video for "Ddu-Du, Ddu-Du" was the most-viewed K-pop video on YouTube in 2018.
